[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Automated dispensing systems, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a glue storage device 1, a metering module 2, and an electronic control module 3. The metering module 2 includes a first metering unit 21, a second metering unit 22, and a quantitative output unit 23. The glue storage device 1 is connected to the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22, respectively. The first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 are connected to the quantitative output unit 23, respectively. The drive ends of the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 are electrically connected to the electronic control module 3, respectively.

[0034] The first metering unit 21 can be a pulse ceramic metering pump with a speed of 50mL / r to 70mL / r, the second metering unit 22 can be a pulse ceramic metering pump with a speed of 1.5mL / r to 5mL / r, and the quantitative output unit 23 can be a quantitative container with a speed of 3000mL to 5000mL. Each quantitative output unit 23 corresponds to one first metering unit 21 and one second metering unit 22. By flexibly adjusting the amount of glue added through the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22, the control of the glue amount accuracy can be improved, so that the glue addition accuracy or glue amount accuracy is not less than 8‰ (the glue amount deviation is not greater than 8‰). This ensures both speed efficiency and glue addition accuracy, effectively solving the problem of low switching efficiency when changing models. It is easy to operate and enables the glue dispensing system to flexibly adjust the glue addition efficiency according to different product specifications, making the glue addition intelligence and automation production highly efficient.

[0035] In the automatic glue dispensing system, the glue storage device 1 is installed on the top of the frame 10, serving as the upper glue tank. One side of the upper glue tank can be connected to the mixing tank. The metering module 2 is installed in the middle of the frame 10. The first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 serve as large and small pumps. The glue storage device 1 is located above the metering module 2. The electrical control module 3 is installed on the side of the frame 10. The frame 10 can be made of stainless steel. The first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 can be installed on PVC sheets in the frame 10. The surface of the PVC sheets is coated with Teflon acid and alkali resistant material.

[0036] In the automatic dispensing system, the electronic control module 3 is equipped with a display control module 31. The drive ends of the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 are electrically connected to the display control module 31. The dispensing efficiency can be set according to different product specifications, with control conditions such as dispensing volume, vacuuming time, evacuation and cavitation number set on the touch screen of the display control module 31. Specifically, the dispensing system has 6 metering tanks, 6 50mL / r and 6 1.5mL / r pulse ceramic metering pumps. Each metering pump has an adjustable unit stroke (micrometer calibrated). Furthermore, the system can achieve independent design and control of six stations, and can efficiently achieve real-time control of on / off, speed, number of revolutions, acceleration and deceleration on the touch screen. At the same time, the electronic control module 3 also has a formula recognition module electrically connected to the display control module 31. This formula recognition module can intelligently recognize the formula data input by the customer and automatically calculate the number of running revolutions allocated to the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 to efficiently adjust the number of running revolutions of the large and small pumps.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Unlike Embodiment 1, the automatic dispensing system also includes a glue dispensing and circulation module 4, which is located below the glue storage device 1. See [link to embodiment 1]. Figure 6 The glue feeding and circulation module 4 includes a supply unit 41 and a first conveying unit 42. The supply unit 41 is electrically connected to the display control module 31 of the electronic control module 3. The supply unit 41 is connected to the glue storage device 1 through the first conveying unit 42. The glue storage device 1 is provided with a first sensing unit 11 electrically connected to the electronic control module 3.

[0039] Among them, the supply unit 41 is a centrifugal pump that can run dry. This centrifugal pump serves as a glue inlet centrifugal pump. The first conveying unit 42 can be a glue inlet pipe. When the display control module 31 controls the centrifugal pump to start, the glue is diverted through a three-way pneumatic ball valve and enters the upper glue tank through the glue inlet pipe. The glue inlet and the cleaning acid can share the same pneumatic three-way ball valve. The reversing problem can be solved by pneumatic reversing. The glue inlet pipe can be designed with an angle to prevent glue residue in the pipe. In addition, the first conveying unit 42 can be equipped with a cleaning acid inlet, a mixing tank circulation port, and a glue inlet according to different needs.

[0040] Preferably, the first sensing unit 11 is a liquid level sensor. When the lower liquid level of the upper glue tank is reached, the glue inlet of the upper glue tank is closed, and the glue circulation mode of the mixing tank is started. The capacity of the upper glue tank can be 55 liters (from the bottom to the overflow port), and the low liquid level of the upper glue tank can be 28 liters.

[0041] Preferably, the automatic glue dispensing system further includes a vacuum glue dispensing module 5, which is installed in the middle of the frame 10. The glue storage device 1 is located above the vacuum glue dispensing module 5. The vacuum glue dispensing module 5 includes an adjusting component 51 electrically connected to the electronic control module 3 and a connected vacuum tank 52 and vacuum tube 53. The vacuum tube 53 is disposed on the adjusting component 51, which is located above the vacuum tank 52. Two to four adjusting components 51 can be provided, and multiple adjusting components 51 are installed on the frame 10. The number of vacuum tanks 52 is equal to the number of metering tanks. Both the vacuum tanks 52 and the metering tanks are installed on the frame 10. The metering output unit 23 is connected to the vacuum tube 53, and the metering tanks can dispense glue to the vacuum tanks 52 through the vacuum tube 53. Furthermore, the adjusting component 51 is equipped with a cylinder or motor to press down the vacuum tube 53. The lower glue outlet of the vacuum tank 52 is equipped with a manual valve and a pressure valve, which increases the pressure difference between the vacuum tank 52 and the battery, making it easier to dispense glue to the battery.

[0042] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] Unlike Embodiment 2, the automatic glue dispensing system also includes an overflow glue storage device 6. The overflow glue storage device 6 includes a storage box 61 and a second conveying unit 62 that are connected to each other. The quantitative output unit 23 and the glue storage device 1 are respectively connected to the second conveying unit 62. The storage box 61 is provided with a second sensing unit 63 that is electrically connected to the electronic control module 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the automatic dispensing system also includes a cleaning device 7, which comprises a cleaning tank 71 and a third conveying unit 72 connected together. The quantitative output unit 23 and the glue storage device 1 are respectively connected to the third conveying unit 72. The cleaning tank 71 is equipped with a third sensing unit 73 electrically connected to the electronic control module 3. Both the storage tank 61 and the cleaning tank 71 are installed at the lower part of the frame 10. (See attached image) Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second sensing unit 63 and the third sensing unit 73 are both liquid level sensors, which enables the system to be equipped with an automatic cleaning function, which can clean the various components through which the glue flows and clean the entire automatic glue dispensing system.

[0046] To achieve the diversion of the storage tank 61 and the cleaning tank 71 and the required re-adhesive circulation, the automatic dispensing system also includes a re-adhesive module 9. The adhesive storage device 1 is located above the re-adhesive module 9. The re-adhesive module 9 includes a re-adhesive drive unit 91 and an electronically controlled diversion unit 92. The outlet diversion end of the re-adhesive drive unit 91 is connected to the input end of the electronically controlled diversion unit 92. The drive end of the re-adhesive drive unit 91 and the electronically controlled end of the electronically controlled diversion unit 92 are respectively electrically connected to the electronically controlled module 3.

[0047] Among them, see Figure 9 The return glue drive unit 91 can be a pneumatic diaphragm pump, and the electrically controlled diversion unit 92 can be an electrically controlled diversion valve. In the system, the overflow glue from the upper glue tank, the discharge glue from the upper glue tank, the overflow glue from the metering tank, the discharge glue from the metering tank, and the emptying of the vacuum tank 52 are all diverted to the storage tank 61 and the cleaning tank 71 through the overflow diversion three-way ball valve. Furthermore, the return flow from the storage tank 61 and the cleaning tank 71 can first pass through the return glue inlet diversion valve and then through the outlet diversion end of the pneumatic diaphragm pump. After that, the cleaning acid enters the cleaning acid tank of the cleaning platform, and the glue enters the mixing tank through the return glue outlet diversion valve.

[0048] Preferably, the automatic glue dispensing system further includes an air source transmission device 8, which is electrically connected to the electronic control module 3. The air source transmission device 8 can provide air source for the metering module 2, the glue inlet circulation module 4, the vacuum glue dispensing module 5, and the glue return module 9.

[0049] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 2, and will not be described again here.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] Unlike embodiment 3, the electronic control module 3 is equipped with a data acquisition module 32. The display control module 31 and the metering module 2 are respectively connected to the data acquisition module 32. The data acquisition module 32 has a data acquisition circuit. By acquiring the operating data in the metering module 2, the operating status of the automatic glue dispensing system can be displayed on the touch screen of the display control module 31 to realize the safe operation of the monitoring system.

[0052] Preferably, the electronic control module 3 is provided with an analysis module 35, which is communicatively connected to the display control module 31 and the data acquisition module 32. The analysis module 35 has multiple data analysis circuit units, which can record and perform necessary calculations and analyses on the operating data of the system, so as to display the performance loss of the automatic glue dispensing system on the touch screen of the display control module 31.

[0053] Preferably, the electronic control module 3 is equipped with an alarm module 33 and an electronic control adjustment module 34, which are respectively communicatively connected to the data acquisition module 32. If the equipment malfunctions, the system's alarm module 33 can generate the required alarm display, and the electronic control adjustment module 34 can realize the system's pause function.

[0054] Preferably, the electronic control adjustment module 34 is equipped with an electrically connected start / stop unit and a voltage screening unit. The start / stop unit has multiple electronically controlled switches, enabling the system to pause and resume; the voltage screening unit has different voltage sources, allowing different branches in the system to select the required operating voltage, such as 2V, 5V, 12V, etc.

[0055] In an automatic dispensing system, the total power supply requirements are: AC380V, 50Hz, 5kW per unit, three-phase five-wire system; the air supply requirements are: 0.4MPa-0.6MPa.

[0056] Furthermore, the system enables centralized control, allowing operation and control to be uniformly concentrated on a screen of at least 10 inches. In addition, the system also has a formula recognition function, which can directly retrieve product data for production through the formula recognition module. At the same time, the system also has a capacity statistics function, which can intelligently and efficiently calculate capacity through the data acquisition module 32 and the analysis module 35 to comprehensively evaluate the system's operation.

[0057] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 3, and will not be described again here.

[0058] Example 5

[0059] The automatic dispensing control method includes the following steps:

[0060] S1. Connect the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 to the glue storage device 1 respectively, start the electronic control module 3, and the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 receive the first control command to regulate the glue output of the glue storage device 1.

[0061] S2. The electronic control module 3 inputs a second control command to the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22, thereby regulating the amount of glue supplied by the first metering unit 21 and the second metering unit 22 to the quantitative output unit 23.

[0062] Obviously, this invention can not only adapt the amount of glue added according to different needs and improve the efficiency of glue addition, but also effectively meet the needs of glue overflow collection, automatic cleaning, glue return circulation, and electronic control analysis.
